Redbarre suggests 4,000 jobs at new video production facility in Parker

PARKER – A  video production facility planned for Parker could create more than 4,000 jobs for the south metro area, officials said in a press announcement Wednesday.

The Denver Post reports that the Redbarre Digital Media & Technology Campus would occupy about 1.9 million square feet of mixed-use space in the Compark Village subdivision, just north of E-470 and west of Chambers Road in Parker.

The planned campus would include a 70-acre soundstage “unlike anything in North America,” according to a press statement, and offer feature film, television and digital media creators and crews “an unfettered data-centric production environment in metro Denver.”

How dispatchable resources enable the clean energy transition

Platte River must prepare for the retirement of 431 megawatts (MW) of dispatchable, coal-fired generation by the end of the decade and address more frequent extreme weather events that can bring dark calms (periods when there is no sun or wind).

Redbarre, a media consultancy firm whose clients include HBO, MTV and ESPN, plans to partner with the town of Parker and the Panasonic CityNOW smart-technology project to open the facility in 2020.
